Choptank Community Health System’s Tilghman Health Center is expanding to weekly hours to provide more accessibility to primary medical services for Bay Hundred area children and adults.
The Tilghman Health Center serves as an extension to Choptank Health’s Bay Hundred Health Center in St. Michaels, with Gregory Dukes, CRNP serving as the provider. The Center previously had been open every other Tuesday during select hours. New hours begin May 10 and are every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
“These extended hours allow our practitioners more time to take care of our patients in Tilghman Island,” said Choptank Health CEO Sara Rich. “Making healthcare more accessible for people across Maryland’s Eastern Shore is at the heart of everything Choptank Health does. It’s why we’re here.”
The Tilghman Health Center’s separate office spaces are conveniently located at Tilghman Elementary School, with patients ages five and up being seen. Choptank Health’s Bay Hundred office patients and new adult and pediatric primary care medical patients are now being accepted, with appointments made by calling 410-754-0200.

Mary Reeser, former principal of Tilghman School, Ann, a former Talbot county board member. says
When we built the New Tilghman School, it was built to have room to serve the whole community with services like Health clinic, county, library, extension, auditorium and gym.
Thank goodness this wonderful facility is now being used for the community of Tilghman area.
